Review Best Western Hotel Madrid (Hotel Atlantico)

Reservation Information For The Best Western Hotel Madrid Atlantico

There are several Best Western Hotels in Madrid. Best Western is a well-known chain that have both 3 star and 4 star hotels. We visited one of their 3 star hotels, the Best Western Hotel Atlántico. The Best Western Atlantico is a stunning building inspired by 17th and 18th century architectural design. It is easy to spot as it has a French dome on top, that is visible from almost anywhere on Gran Via, the main road where the hotel is located.

The reception area has ornate tapestries hanging from the walls, giving it a stately air. There are a couple of regal looking chairs, a richly patterned rug and a stand full of leaflets about other Best Western Hotels, and attractions in Madrid.

Being located on Gran Via, you have walking access within 5 minutes of a wide range of tapas bars, restaurants, shops and the best theatres. The popular ‘Pans & Co’ sandwich and coffee bar is 2 minutes walk away.

How To Get From The Airport To The Hotel

Via Taxi: A taxi from the airport should take about 35 minutes and cost 22 to 25 euros (including airport supplement), if there isn’t an excess of traffic, and assuming there is no extra baggage (that all baggage fits inside the boot and interior of the taxi).

Via Metro: You can take various metro routes directly from the airport to arrive at Callao metro near the Best Western Atlantico Hotel Madrid. Line number 8 leaves from inside the airport between terminals 1 and 2. I’ve given the quickest route below with the stations where you need to change listed:

Metro: Nuevos Ministerios (Pink Line, L8) Then change and head for Alonso Martinez (Dark Blue Line, L10) Then change and head for Callao (Green Line, L5).

Via Bus: You can take a red EMT public bus from the airport to Avenida America. The number bus that takes this route is the 115. From there it’s quicker to change to the metro.
